Description of Life Forms. 



[Ahreviations — H.C. = Heathcote ; N.Br. = New Brighton; Tu. = Timarii.) 



As tlie first four species '\\\ the above list occur plentifully only at New 

 Brighton, and as this was not visited till July, only their Mothered leaves 

 were collected : and, so, few particulars of the life forms could be given. 

 It was thought better, however, to mention, at any rate, their station rather 

 than leave them out altogether. 



1. Scirpus americanus. 



Station. — (1.) H.C. : Absent from all formations. (2.) N.Br.: In chan- 

 nels of brackish water in the salt marshes. (3.) Tu. : Unrepresented. 



Life Form. — From the great profusion of dry, withered leaves, one 

 would imagine that in the previous summer the channels must have been 

 fairly choked with a dense growth of this plant. It grows from a perennial, 

 long, black rhizome. The leaves are linear, concave and grooved, sheath- 

 ing, and covered with short stii? hairs. 



2. Scirpus lacustris. 



Station. — (1.) H.C. : In the water at the edge of the river, commencing 

 some distance up stream. (2.) N.Br. : As at H.C. (3.) Tu. : Unrepre- 

 sented.
